Midwest Ecology & Evolution Conference (MEEC) 2015 - March 28 & 29 @ Indiana University

Dear colleagues,

We are pleased to announce that this year (March 28-29, 2015) The Midwest Ecology and Evolution Conference (MEEC) will be held at Indiana University Bloomington!

MEEC is an annual student-hosted research conference held at various institutions within the Midwestern United States. The conference provides an outstanding opportunity for graduate and undergraduate students to showcase their research and network with students and faculty from nearby institutions. MEEC provides a great environment for emerging scientists to discuss new ideas, hone presentation skills, and make connections in the local science community.

MEEC will include oral and poster sessions, panel sessions on outreach and career development, as well as what promise to be extraordinary plenary talks by Dr. Cathy Pfister (University of Chicago) and Dr. Alan Templeton (Washington University in St. Louis). The abstract call and registration are both from February 1-28. Registration for MEEC is only $50! 

Moreover, the annual IU Animal Behavior Conference (ABC), hosted by the IU Center for the Integrative Study of Animal Behavior, will take place right before MEEC, from March 26-28. We encourage people with a research interest in behavior to attend both conferences (plus, registration for ABC is free).

Get excited for one of the most enjoyable conferences of the year! You can find more information about the conference and how to register at our website (http://meec2015.wordpress.com), Facebook (https://www.facebook.com/MEEC.conference), or Twitter (@MidEcoEvoCon).

Best,

The MEEC Planning Committee
